Or just modd it to fit..

Saw that on my hunting, not exactly cheap but only thing i can find in nz

Taylors engineers in wanganui turned one up on there lathe in about 3 hours between jobs for my rodeo 50mm.... cost. 50 dollars, they even fitted it.

130 is a bit of a rip for a 30 mm piece of billet with the ends machined flat and four holes drilled in it to suit your flanges.

I got a couple spun up out of alloy/aluminium a while back by a local engineer, I just dropped off a spare diff head and he made them to fit the flanges Was about $60-80 for the pair from memory

Had a quick search on ebay ,I know its not local but for indication on price http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 25&alt=web

$129 isn't that bad... all you gotta do is sit in your chair and it arrives. ever put a price on driving around town to get something made....

Cant find anything local fror reasonabe price so will make my own i think. Have access to full machine shop so will just turn one up on the lath

Or sit at your pc on a 4wd forum and ask ? ....50 to 80 odd dollars for custom made spacers and the engineering firms that did....that sorts info you cant buy...even if you did drive around town all day

I'd look at lengthening the driveshaft if you've got access to the skills & the gear. Keeps the UJ angles a bit better.

Ive been running a spacer on my front drive shaft as a temp. measure until i got drive shaft lengthened no issues.

Arent ifs surf/hilux front drive shafts longer?

They also double cardon joints

they are.. as I got one for the front of my truck, took a little trial and error but got a factory driveshaft the right length..

I remember there being something about the IFS Surf ones not having the same range of movement as a Hilux one in the double cardan It needed to be clearance to get it to move more?

The $130 spacers are from Superior Engineering and good quality (sounds like a chinese ad), but they are what they are.

Some material and 3 hours labour for $50, pretty cheap.

not bagging any products, but I do get annoyed when the margin is obviously quite a bit on any product....an example was my silverstones, to buy them out of malaysia and import them myself is well over a 1000 dollars cheaper then to buy them from a supplier in nz. It just so happened, and only that some one had a set for sale on TM in near new condition for even less, that I didn't take the private import option

once again not bagging the suppliers or the product's , but it's obvious with a little keyboard work that some one is taking a chunk of change for not much work.
And frieghts another one too, to ship 4 tyres and rims from CHCH to palmy north was 50 dollars over night, yet to ship a gasket set and head bolts with a water pump from auckland to palmy was 48.

When it comes to car parts, the internet is a wonderful resource.

shit how do you get silverstones landed in NZ for 500-600 bucks a set got any links or contacts to share that's a pretty tidy price

not quite 5-600 hundred, more like 8-900 landed.

I ended up with the set i brought of trademe, i later discovered after talking with the seller that he had fitted them to a hilux but didn't suit his purpose, so sold them on, they were only 2 weeks old off the shelf.

the ones I found popped up on (http://www.lelong.com.my/toyo-tires-toy ... Sale-P.htm) under new offers, with no middle man would have been 2670 Ringit or 980 nz dollars + gst of 147 nz for 4 landed/ inc surface shipping.
you will need some one who can speak mandirin or Malay if you want to deal directly other wise have google translate handy for the emails.
And even then I wasn't even sure where exactly the seller was.


to by them here in nz your looking anywhere at around 340-390 a tyre not including rims for a 31 inch.
